Cecilia - Sounds like you have an exciting trip coming up!
I love Europe! After the Goofy next year, I'm going to try to set up a Med Cruise as I've been wanting to go on one for a loooooonnnng time. However, lack of funds and time have been keeping me away!
Glad the pad is helping your foot. Were your toes going numb by chance?
Mike, Lisa and Laurie- we got a dusting of snow the other night. Does that count for anything?
We were VERY lucky we didn't get the major ice that so many of our neighboring towns received the other day.
Beth - congrats on your weight loss! I'll bet your going to win your little wager with your friends.
Angie - whew! Actually, I would love to have your schedule with some of the "smaller" runs. We don't have much action going on around here and I get bored training by myself. I enter these events as part of my training because they are supported and motivating, I think. Good for you for getting your schedule lined out.
Joanne - hope you don't lose any power. There are quite a few people in my state without power from the ice storms the other day. It's really bad in some areas. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
Hi
Liz and Patrick! Glad to have you on the team. I'm actually looking forward to getting on the bike again. It won't be too long for us. In the meantime, I'm going to join some spin classes to help get me prepared for the outdoors.
Hi
Suzanne! I see you're keeping up with the miles.
Good for you. I see that you might be the "cheerleader" for the WISH team at the Princess half. I really enjoyed cheering for everyone during the half in January. It was the next best thing to actually participating. Actually, it might have been even better - no aches and pain afterwards.
Shan - great job in getting the workouts in. Very inspiring. I need to follow your lead and get my rear in gear.
Maura - getting faster by the minute. You run twice as fast as I do.
I went to the doctor today as a followup for the MRI I had the other day. Luckily, no tears in my knees, just tendonitis and arthritis. His suggestion - Aleve, twice a day and ice my knee as needed. Now, I have no excuse not to get out there and exercise. I've always heard that being overweight can really add stress to your body. The doctor said I had normal wear and tear on my body for an "athlete". I think that I probably have more than I should due to my weight. So, I'm going to concentrate on getting some weight off so my joints won't have to work as hard. This has been kind of a wake up call. I'm lucky that there is nothing seriously wrong but I know if I continue the way I've been going, I could easily wound up with more serious problems.
*sigh*.
